    Cashapp doesnt always work consistently but if it does, thats the best route. Otherwise, you go on Coinbase verify your debit card, instant BTC purchases. If youre just moving small amounts, and not holding them, you MUST set up your own wallet first. Free and very easy. Electrum, Samourai, etc. Buy BTC instant > Move to your online wallet > Move to Sportsbook.

    Very simple once you get the setup in place. I can have BTC in Bovada in under 15 min this way

      i was in a same shoes... I got banned from all the local bitcoin atm machines for using it to gamble.... Got banned from majority of places or I can not use their service because I live in NY... I just mainly buy through Paxful now... and pay minimum 10% fee.... which is still cheaper compare to paying almost 20% at bitcoin atm machines... and I did contact the company while I was able to use them and they refuse to lower the fee for me..

            LG23, Won't your CC company realize what 5Ds is and cancel your card?

              No because 5d disguises the charges. Your bank thinks you're buying roses for mom or a memory card from china

                  (CC > Sportsbook) is as safe as the circuitous (Bank > BTC Exchange > Intermediate Wallet > Sportsbook) route?

                  In what way has 5Ds abused anyone's credit or debit card?

                    Not everyone wants to relay their credit card number to an offshore sports book considering people in the past have reported unknown charges on their card after depositing on 5D.

                    Bitcoin is also faster to get paid. 5D puts you in the back of the line to be paid by Bitcoin if you don't deposit using it. Once the Bitcoin hits my wallet, I can sell through Coinbase and now have instant withdrawals to a Paypal account which can be withdrawn to your bank or you can get a debit card they offer that gives 1% cash back and make purchases with it.

                    There is a learning curve to using Bitcoin, but once you get the hang of it, it's not very difficult at all.

                        I've been on hiatus and trying to re-acclimate.

                        Ahh. Knew there had to be a good reason.

                          By the By, is there any downside to depositing to 5ds via the new "Zelle" method? Or is that leaving one's self vulnerable to unknown and unauthorized charges?

                              I'm guessing the "Zelle" method of funding is tantamount to CC funding, and therefore ill-advised. (Except for certain books)

                                    Most books will cover your fees for sending and buying Bitcoin if you ask them up front. And many books have better Bitcoin Bonuses.
